Meet Elaine
Hey Legacy Leader! I’m Elaine Lou Cartas. I help recovering perfectionist leaders and their high-achieving teams to overcome perfectionism, burnout and identity crises to create sustainable results.
You’ve already established yourself in a leadership or executive role, whether that’s in your own small business or you’ve had a successful career. After overwhelm and burnout, you are most likely going through an identity crisis and you need support redefining your definition of success and happiness. That’s why my team and I are here to help you find your new version of success–one that aligns with your values, not just the stereotypical version of what being successful looks like.
I want you to know it’s possible. After starting a business, you can grow your business or business idea to reflect your values and not a carbon copy of the latest trends.
We work with consultants, service-based business owners, architects, dog trainers, human resources, nonprofit consultants, jewelry designers, marketing consultants, c-suite executives, and many more to design a business and life that grows with them.
Are you ready to start a career coach journey that empowers you to redefine success and align with your true values?
As a certified executive coach and life coach, I understand the importance of balancing personal fulfillment with professional success. I received my Professional Certified coaching certification through the International Coaching Federation which has provided me tools to guide executives in navigating challenges and achieving sustainable growth. Unlike many coach charging high fees for cookie cutter solutions, I focus on providing personalized strategies that align with your values and vision.
We work with established business leaders who already have a product or service that they believe in but need support in managing the messiness of building a business: dealing with growing teams, outdated systems, and navigating difficult conversations.
- Maybe you’re in an identity crisis and want the support and accountability to honor yourself and your legacy fully.
- Maybe you have a habit of going into auto-pilot mode and “just doing” because it’s what’s worked so far.
- Maybe you’re navigating huge growing pains and need support guiding a team through the transition.
- Maybe you’re struggling with what to do next and need a safe space to express your voice and redefine your own definition of success.
Let’s change that together.

My Why
I’m a proud first-generation daughter of immigrants. My family immigrated from the Philippines. I’m creating my dream businesses because I want to honor the generations who came before me and sacrificed so much so I can have a life of choice.
The picture from left to right is a picture of my dad, his mom (my Nana/grandma), and me. My Nana is holding a pic of her dad (my great Grandpa).
My business is dedicated to generations before me who gave me this privilege, this life of choice — to serve WOC and allies in their businesses and careers.

How Danielle 2x’d Her Revenue While Pregnant + Worked Less
“A year ago I was doing everything. I was at a point where we were growing and I needed to create different departments and structure. I also didn’t get any feedback from anyone as a leader, so I wanted to get coaching for myself. In a year, we created different departments, and they all run their own parts of the organization. Now we have an operation. Things flow and work.”
“What was helpful in [Elaine’s program] was connecting more with my own intuition in my business.”

How can you create a life and business aligned with you?
Through our Color Your Dreams® transformation, we uncover the legacy you are meant to create.
We don’t look at what other successful people have done, we look at your values and how they best support your community.
In fact, we create businesses that are less dependent on or even independent of social media and are focused on creating relationships. My clients have 50%+ of their revenue coming from referrals and renewals instead of doom-scrolling and comparing themselves to people on a different path and with different lived experiences.
By understanding yourself from the inside out, we can scale and sustain the business and life you deserve.
Conscious Conversations®
We use our Conscious Conversations® 6-prong approach to guide high-performing leaders and their teams to:
- Reduce burnout and foster happier, more productive teams
- Tailor solutions to each team member’s unique needs, ensuring goals are met with less stress
- Build accountability for leaders and their teams
Our approach centers on these pillars:
- Pause: Reflect on your communication and leadership style, drawing insights from past projects and interactions to uncover growth opportunities.
- Perspective(s): Gain clarity on others’ goals and leadership styles to improve communication and productivity.
- Priorities: Understand goals from all team members and stakeholders to ensure alignment and focus.
- Prepare: Strategize effectively for meetings, projects, and challenging situations.
- Perform: Execute with confidence to lead impactful meetings and achieve outcomes.
- Passion: Remind yourself why you are passionate about your role, and the projects you are working on.
Imagine this:
- You and your team members confidently achieving their goals
- Leading long term where your team members trust the process, you, and each other
- Peace at work and your life
Conscious Conversations® equips leaders and teams with the tools to lead and foster thriving, engaged teams.
“I loved the 6-prong framework, I’ve leveraged it and plan to do so, as it’s easy to remember the 6-Ps organized around the visual of the heart. Passion at its core. I just had a real time conversation yesterday. I was part of a team that led a big networking event last week, and when I stepped in and around with the attendees, I owned the room!”
